All of what they were training on will be tested today. And in the middle of their performance, a miracle happened. Will they be able to perform perfectly without messing up? What miracle that happened?
"Morning, everyone." Chase greeted all of his friends who were awake already.
"Morning, Chase. You ready for today?" Skye asked Chase. Everyone else were eating their breakfast.
"I hope. Brr, it's cold today." Chase shivered.
"Oh right, what are we using for performing, anyway?" Rocky stopped his eating for a while.
"Uniform with sweater vest should be fine. I mean, Mayor Goodway said nothing about dress code." Chase answered. Rocky nodded slowly and continued his meal.
"There's no Chwistmas twee this yeaw, eh?" Zuma looked around.
"We were too busy with practicing that we forgot that today's Christmas, huh..." Rubble looked to a location where they planted their Christmas tree last year.
"Yeah, but... that's fine, you know. Beside, there's something more important than that..." Skye shrugged.
"Only if Ryder's okay." Chase and Marshall answered in unison.
"Aw, what a syncing pair of bwothews." Zuma said, which caused Chase to blush for a while.
"Hey, it's been a while since the last time we saw Chase's blush! I love to see it again, to be honest." Rocky snickered.
"H-heh... you!" Chase was about to hit Rocky's back, but he was still eating. "Mind if I take my meal first?"
"Here, we've prepared it for you." Marshall pushed a blue bowl with dog foods filling the bowl to the owner.
"Thanks, guys." Chase retrieved it and ate it.
Right after Chase finished his meal, Mayor Goodway called them.
"Have you guys prepared yet?" Mayor Goodway asked from the phone.
"We do hope so, ma'am." Chase took his bowl and returned it to his house after cleaning it. "We'll get there after we finished the breakfast. About dress code, it's anything we want, right?"
"Yeah! Just match it with the concept you guys have! Anyway, it's getting cold here. I suggest you all carry at least a jacket." Mayor Goodway answered.
"Thank you, Mayor!" Chase closed the connection. "Guys, Mayor Goodway's waiting for us! We better get quick now." Chase asked the others to prepare.
"Alright!" Everyone hastened their movements.
Poor Marshall, he got tripped by his bowl and landed in front of his own house because he was too clumsy. Luckily the ground was covered with a thick snow.
"Dear! Are you alright!?" Chase approached his brother, worried.
"I'm alright, don't worry!" Marshall laughed with the others.
"Oh, come on Chase. Thought that a year closer with him personally will make you know that he won't get hurt with that small trip." Rocky teased.
"But—alright, maybe I'm a bit too worried." Chase blushed in embarrassment, and everyone laughed again.
"You know what, guys? Let's just go now!" Skye's ready with her helicopter.
After everyone was ready, they headed to the sport field as fast as they could.
They went to the back stage after arriving at the sport field. A lot of people had been waiting for the said performance. At the back stage, Mayor Goodway greeted them.
"Finally that you guys are here already! Please prepare yourself first, and after you all ready, tell me so I can announce it to the public." Mayor Goodway said.
"Yeah, we will. Anyway, the song's name is Rough, if you asked." Chase went down from his vehicle, along with the others.
"That's what I'm about to ask. Thanks, anyway." She left the group away.
Chase felt the same nervousness like that time when it was Marshall's birthday. But then, this nervousness he felt was mixed with a sadness feeling. "I'm... afraid I might ruin the show." Chase suddenly said to the others.
Marshall patted Chase's shoulder. "Chase, it's fine, really. We can do it, and you don't want to disappoint the others by quiting, right? Come on, my dearest big brother, I'm not into disappointing them." Marshall said to him.
There was a short laughter because of what Marshall said, when the others approached him one by one.
"Chase, I'm not being a smart-pants, but Marshall's right. We gotta do this." Rubble also encouraged him.
"Wyder's going to be disappointed if you bwoke youw pwomise, Chase." Zuma also tried cheering him up.
"We're here, next to you. We will always do, and we will make Ryder proud with us!" Skye tried to change the atmosphere, and the other four responded with a loud chant.
"I'm not into training the whole week only to cancel the show, Chase. Come on, don't make me wanna punch your nose now." Rocky grunted, along with the other's laughter.
Chase smiled, and nodded slowly. "But, I have one small request. If, IF, there is a snowstorm, or anything else, please just keep on singing and dancing."
Chase sighed. Everyone looked at each other for a while, and they nodded after a while. Marshall grabbed Chase's paw and stared into his eyes.
"We will. Anything happened, we will sing. For him." Marshall smiled.
"We promise." Rocky also nodded.
"If an oath is said alweady, then it will be finished, wight?" Zuma grinned.
"Chase, just a little pro tip. Don't think about him first for the performance." Rubble advised.
"Just remember what we practiced already." Skye smiled too.
"Alright. I take that as a yes." Chase closed his eyes for a second. "Come on." He pulled Marshall's paw and the rest followed him.
"Ma'am. We're good to go." Chase said to Mayor Goodway.
"Alright then. Please prepare yourself now." Mayor Goodway let them to do so.
Marshall stood with four legs in the middle along with the others surrounding him. Using the same flower formation, they prepared themselves. Chase held Zuma and Rubble paws, along with Skye holding Rocky's and Zuma's paws.
They also just realized that Adventure's Bay Now is going to record their performance. Adventure's Bay Now is a TV show that shows about the city's talents.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Paw Patrol with their dance cover, Rough!" Mayor Goodway went down from the stage after the crowd applaused. The team got a nice reputation thanks to Marshall's birthday.
